Walking with God.....And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Just Life

The conversations around the blogosphere about labels make me more aware than ever that I don't really fit into a particular box. Sometimes I feel like an observer of my own strange ecclesial journey. There seem to be plenty of interesting twists and turns.

Saturday evening my husband and I were visited by a couple seeking God about the possibility of planting a church in our area. We had a huddle before they arrived about how we should behave ourselves.

Our goals for the evening:1. Not to blow their dreams out of the water.2. Not to overly encourage them. 3. Not to be too likeable. ;)

I don't know how we did, although I am sure they had an interesting conversation on the 2-hour drive back to the place they are staying.

My husband woke me up during the night talking in his sleep. He typically doesn't dream and never talks in his sleep. He was saying...

Relevant is an interesting word to define. To me, I think that you could defintely define that what occurred with you was very relevant to where you are and where you are at in the journey and what you enjoy.

Of course, I fully understand the "definition" most use on - was that service relevant ?

Jo,I know what you mean. To be fair, we think he was joking because there was nothing in the rest of the time we spent together that suggested any presumptuous attitudes concerning our involvement. But the subconcious has a funny way of dealing with these things.

You made my husband smile with your story of your husband's dream. I think he has had a few of these lately!

I loved your list of what you were not going to do. I especially liked the one where you did not want to be too likeable. brilliant, I will remember that one when someone comes knocking on our church involvement door.

"We sense that something magnificent is afoot. We are intrigued by the chaos. We are willing to risk significant change in order to create local expressions of the kingdom of God that are burning with missional passion and practice. We want to explore the meaning of the chaos, the vision of a preferred future, the challenge of being "church."
